Czechia is ending repatriation flights launched due to the war with Iran

The Czech Republic is ending repatriation flights from the Middle East for people whose return home was complicated by the war involving Iran. Thursday’s repatriation flight was the last one, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in the early evening on the social network X. In total, more than 1,500 Czech citizens returned from areas affected by the conflict on these flights, it added.

The state launched repatriation flights using military aircraft and planes operated by the company Smartwings after Israel and the United States carried out a military attack on Iran at the end of February.

“At the moment, the crisis hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not record any Czech citizens in the region who would be in an urgent situation. Therefore this is the last government-organized repatriation flight in this crisis,” the ministry said.
